Uberflow block = block able to use 5+GPM without MASSIVE head losses. The best example is a straight through pipe with a coldplate.

I don't have enough data to calculate exactly what will happen and that is why I will do the tuning tests. The Pondmaster 1200 is rated at 950 GPH at 6ft head, and 600GPM at 10ft head. Since dH is going to be less than 5ft at the extremes, and at 10ft head I can get 10GPM throughout (w/o resistance), so I feel it is safe to assume that I should be able to get at least 6-8GPM throughout. Since I feel it is doubtful that I can get more than 4GPM to push through that radiator limiting each WB to less than 1GPM, if I can get 8GPM with a bypass, I will be doubling the net flow through each block. At least, that all sounds good on paper.

I honestly don't know what the results of this project will be. My gut instinct tells me I will see higher idles and lower peaks, but I really don't know how it'll come out in the wash. I do know that my radiator will keep flow low, which when split between multiple WBs, the flow in the blocks will be abysmal.
